Af a i oath Se Wench -NEVADA MONDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1937. CITY NUGGET _ HEN FACTORIES _INSKY SCRAPERS NEWEST WRINKLE By RALPH H. TAYLOR If you step off the elevator at one of the top floors of a skyscraper office building some day soon to hear chickens cackling and _ roosters crowing—with hand trucks loaded with crates of newly laid eggs being trundled about and bookkeeping machines recording: the day’s production—try to -keep calm. It may not be that nervous’ breakdown you’ve feared after all. It may be true! The latest contribution to synthetic agriculture—synthetic, at least, as a “dirt farmer’ would view it— is the chicken factory.

Phone 686-W. » 10-1moc And tens of thousands of other hens, bota broilers ‘and layers, have become mere ‘units of production” in other chicken factories it is disclosed by Phillip H. Smith, in his article entitled, “The Factory System Takes Hold of the Hen!” Creator of the factory poultry system is Milton H. Arndt, an Illinois farm boy who made good in the city——after ups and downs and many years of experimental work —— and Whose main business now is building cages for office-building chicken factories started by his discivles. On less than an acre of ground. near Trenton, New Jersey, Arndt houses his factory—for manufacturing the equipment for other factories—and 16.000 hens. Nearby, however, he has a 90 acre farm where he_ breeds pedigreed chicks, specially suited for cage work: In.the Arndt type chicken factory, row after row of cakes, each cage the . permanent home of a hen, line up like filing cabinets in a modern business office. Each hen is a unit of} production. She is fed a definite amount of raw material from which she produces a known unit output. On each cage there’s a card, recording her production. And when she falls below par, she’s headed for fricassee. Factory chicken’ production has tried before and had failed, Arndt recounts, due to the fact that} each hen jhad to have a promenade to get her quota of sunshine. He been overcame, this problem by putting . cod-liver oil in the mash. Day-old j chicks begin: their life in starting . batteries—cages holding about 100; later, they are transferred to. growbatteries—larger cages with fewer birds; .then. they progress to developing batteries where the cockerels are made ready for market and pullets are built up to lay. Finaly, each hen enters a laying. battery. Each hen must produce a minimum of 108 eggs per year to pay her overhead in the poultry fattory, according to Arndt. To escape fricassee,~she must produce from 52 to 117 more eggs each year for ‘“‘profit.’ Heating and ventilating make all seasons the same; electric lighting is used so the nens can work 13 hours a day. Feed costs are carefully tabulated; a hen can eat. all she wants, but patented devices prevent waste. Usually, it reguires 18 -pounds of feed to get to laying age; six aaneeeil pounds per month to keep her pro. ducing. The cages have rubber-latex . coated wire to make for comfortable } footing—are entirely devoid of soi)! to keep them disease free _. eggs! roll forward. ready for collection. . when laid; droppings are carried . away on belts. And one workman ¢an . tionRadio ‘programs are used to in-! crease the hen’s satisfaction with . life in a cage—organ music prefer. red—and Arndt is now trying to . breed new type chicks free of combs, wattles, tail feathers and wings, as . he says they are unnecessary appendages for the streamlined factory , hen. Chief advantage of the chicken factory .a¢cording to Arndt,’ is. its appeal to retired business men—and its nearness to market. Sometimes . there are grocery stores and restaurants in the same building housing the chicken factory! Last year, Arndt, the factory chicken man, grossed more than $1,00,000, according to Forbes’ Magazine, and there are now chicken factories . in, 46 countries. Petaluma, however, . seems undisturbed. ‘Like “bathtub . farminge’’ — the chemical gardens . fashioned in the test‘tubes of science . —-chicken factories still have a long . way to ge before the will rival the California poultryman. industrious COLLEEN MOORE DOLL HOUSE COMING TO SACTO.
